No, this all makes sense. Pre-expansion, they feel people were getting items too easy. They can either raise the prices, screwing all the people who didn't jump right into PvP _AND_ the people who were PvPing, but hadn't spent points (I'm in this category, still contemplating 2H vs DW for the xpac. Other people might almost have enough for a 2h weapon, for example) OR they can cut the rate of future gain, only hurting the people who MIGHT have pvped more if they had known the nurf was incoming.
One is a theoretical harm to people who might have done something differently, one is an actual harm to people who have actual points in the bank.
Reducing prices after TBC hits makes sense. Are people really going to stop and PvP for hundreds of hours to accumulate a rank 13 set of gear? Reducing the price to let people grab 1-2 pieces makes sense to me.
